Day Three
Carbohydrate intake at a low level: 0.5 g per 1 lb of your weight
High intake of protein: 1.5 g per 1 lb of your weight
Low fat intake of 0.3 g per 1 lb of your weight
It’s the same scheme as the second day. The body uses glucose accumulated in the blood, then the glycogen from the liver and muscles to their full capacity and once they are depleted, it begins to use fat as a source of energy. Fats are broken down into glycerol and fatty acids, which in turn is converted to oxidized glucose.
Day Four
Carbohydrate intake at a high level: 4-5 g per 1 lb of your weight
Moderate protein intake: 1 g per 1 lb of your weight
Low fat intake of 0.2 g per 1 lb of your weight
This is the most enjoyable day of the cycle. Moderate protein content and high amount of carbohydrates. The body replenishes lost glycogen and the muscles, in need of refurbishment, actively use carbohydrates and store them as glycogen. The conversion of carbs to fat is minimal and muscles literally “swell”, as 1 g glycogen binds to 4 g of water.Use this day to do a real intense workout.
The essence of this alternation is that the body does not adapt to the constant amount of calories and the metabolism does not slow down, but rather swings and fat burning occurs at a higher pace. Be sure to return to reset the cycle and go to day one, to continue promoting fat loss. Another important condition – this diet should be carried out against the background of intense training.
This is an amazing diet, but I didn’t understood a thing. After the first 4 days of the diet what should I eat in the 3 days left? Have I to start again the same cycle as the first day or I can do a “stop” and eat moderate meals for the 3 days left? Thank you for your time.
After the first 4 days of cycle what should I do in the 3 days left? 3 days of moderate meals or start again the cycle in the 5th day as the first?
You just start the cycle again
Thank you
